Page 323 Troubleshooting Guide The maximum burst during continuous shooting is lower. With ISO 12800 or “H” (equivalent to ISO 25600), the maximum burst for continuous shooting will greatly decrease (p.91). Set [z3: High ISO speed NR] to [Standard/Low/Disable]. If it is set to [High] or if [Multi Shot Noise Reduction] is set, the maximum burst during continuous shooting will greatly decrease (p.124).
Page 324 Troubleshooting Guide Even though I set a decreased exposure compensation, the image comes out bright. Set [z2: Auto Lighting Optimizer] to [Disable].

The image cannot be erased. If the image is protected, it cannot be erased (p.262). The movie cannot be played back.
Page 330 Troubleshooting Guide There are multiple movie files for a single movie shoot. If the movie file size reaches 4 GB, another movie file will be created automatically (p.182).
